This note establishes that a generalization of $c$-cyclical monotonicity from the Monge-Kantorovich problem with two marginals gives rise to a sufficient condition for optimality also in the multi-marginal version of that problem. To obtain…
Monotonicity and convex analysis arise naturally in the framework of multi-marginal optimal transport theory. However, a comprehensive multi-marginal monotonicity and convex analysis theory is still missing. To this end we study extensions…
We establish a general condition on the cost function to obtain uniqueness and Monge solutions in the multi-marginal optimal transport problem, under the assumption that a given collection of the marginals are absolutely continuous with…
$c$-cyclical monotonicity is the most important optimality condition for an optimal transport plan. While the proof of necessity is relatively easy, the proof of sufficiency is often more difficult or even elusive. We present here a new…
In the setting of optimal transport with $N\ge 2$ marginals, a necessary condition for transport plans to be optimal is that they are $c$-cyclically monotone. For $N=2$ there exist several proofs that in very general settings $c$-cyclical…
A fundamental concept in optimal transport is c-cyclical monotonicity: it allows to link the optimality of transport plans to the geometry of their support sets. Recently, related concepts have been successfully applied in the…
We study solutions to the multi-marginal Monge-Kantorovich problem which are concentrated on several graphs over the first marginal. We first present two general conditions on the cost function which ensure, respectively, that any solution…
A cornerstone of convex analysis, established by Rockafellar in 1966, asserts that a set has a potential if and only if it is cyclically monotone. This characterization was generalized to hold for any real-valued cost function $c$ and lies…
We prove that $c$-cyclically monotone transport plans $\pi$ optimize the Monge-Kantorovich transportation problem under an additional measurability condition. This measurability condition is always satisfied for finitely valued, lower…
We consider the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem in a purely measure theoretic setting, i.e. without imposing continuity assumptions on the cost function. It is known that transport plans which are concentrated on c-monotone sets are…
The cost functions considered are $c(x,y)=h(x-y)$, where $h\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, homogeneous of degree $p\geq 2$, with a positive definite Hessian in the unit sphere. We study multivalued monotone maps with respect to that cost and…
In this note, we present a unified approach to the problem of existence of a potential for the optimal transport problem with respect to non-traditional cost functions, that is, costs that assume infinite values. We establish a new method…
We identify a condition for regularity of optimal transport maps that requires only three derivatives of the cost function, for measures given by densities that are only bounded above and below. This new condition is equivalent to the weak…
We show continuity of the martingale optimal transport optimisation problem as a functional of its marginals. This is achieved via an estimate on the projection in the nested/causal Wasserstein distance of an arbitrary coupling on to the…
We introduce and study a multi-marginal optimal partial transport problem. Under a natural and sharp condition on the dominating marginals, we establish uniqueness of the optimal plan. Our strategy of proof establishes and exploits a…
We study optimal mass transport problems between two measures with respect to a non-traditional cost function, i.e. a cost $c$ which can attain the value $+\infty$. We define the notion of $c$-compatibility and strong-$c$-compatibility of…
We develop a general condition on the cost function which is sufficient to imply Monge solution and uniqueness results in the multi-marginal optimal transport problem. This result unifies and generalizes several results in the rather…
This note concerns the relationship between conditions on cost functions and domains and the convexity properties of potentials in optimal transportation and the continuity of the associated optimal mappings. In particular, we prove that if…
A convex duality result for martingale optimal transport problems with two marginals was established in Beiglb\"ock et al. (2013). In this paper we provide a generalization of this result to the multi-period setting.
This paper studies the geometry of the optimizer for the optimal transport problem with capacity constraints. We introduce the concept of c-capacity monotonicity, which is a generalization of c-cyclical monotonicity in optimal transport. We…
